John Edwards is using his campaign blog to rally opposition to Bush judicial nominees, posting a petition against them:
"The Senate must reject the nominations of President Bush's anti-civil rights judges, especially Charles Pickering, Priscilla Owen and Carolyn Kuhl. President Bush is turning the judiciary over to the very far right wing of his party, which will mean an era of extreme conservative judicial activism. If President Bush continues to remake the federal courts in the direction he is heading, rights all Americans cherish will be gutted."
As with his vote against the Iraq aid package, the power of Edwards the Senator lends some heft to Edwards the candidate. He's not just saying what he would do as President, he's saying what he is doing as a Senator. The campaign blog is thus doing double duty as a Senator's blog, which is interesting in itself.
